I have a feeling 6th and 7th in M3/M4 will be a wasted gears too. all for an extra 3 mpg
Hmmm. I've never used 7th at the track and would welcome a gear that doesn't mean well over 3k cruising on the freeway and the fuel savings that come with it. The rest of the ratios should be tight but a long 7th makes better sense than what we have now.
